The effects of the VAT decrease some 2 weeks ago

So the question that remained open after my last article was what was actually going to happen, so here is what happened...
So what happened to prices?
Well... prices went down, but because we are in a period of disinflation it is very difficult to see the difference between the price decrease caused by the disinflation and that caused by the VAT decrease for all products. However, products with fewer companies, such as Q4 food show a discontinuity in price some 16 days ago (when the tax decrease was implemented). Industries with many companies do not show this, as the effect of lowering VAT is smaller than that of general competition

So what happened to volume?
Well... nothing. The amount of stock in the country for all sectors continued to be accumulated in the same fashion as before
And before i forget...
Err, we have a huge stock of weapons right now. Unless the government has plans to open up some battles, weapon company owners are in deep... There are over 4000 Q1 guns in eUNL

Gees that is major!
I already own 150+ Q5 guns. With current prices it equals 75 gold. When new battles arrive it can easily increase again, so I can make a profit again and stop running at loss. I haven't sold shit since a week now, since our government is to lazy to arrange us some battle's.
"Unless the government has plans to open up some battles, weapon company owners are in deep" there will be some very soon 😉
The lack of consumes is due to the scarcity of wars , demands for stuff is low in the whole world so we can't be competitive in exporting things ; however with an higher VAT the situation will be even worse.
With V2 coming up it is obvious that many countries save gold and try to take the edge in the new battle module. Thus, not many wars are being opened. You can blame the government but instead blame the new modules.
The global economy is about to crash.

I know V2 is comming up but it are the goverments that are harvesting gold and letting the economy crash.
No it is everyone, including governments. Prizes drop all over the world because of increasing stock, because of overproduction that has allways been there. When big battles were fought weapons and iron stocks would drop, so people thought, hey lets reopen my iron or weapon company, and with that they keep up the wages in the entire economy. Without any major war operation for a while now, the overproduction in weapons becomes really clear, the price dropped more then 50% in a month...
I have noticed the same and i think erepublik has a crisis.
